Visitors enjoy soaking in popular Hot Springs on the banks of the river and exploring the scenic Kirkham Ridge Trail, including small steaming waterfalls.
The Travertine hot springs are located on public lands and are easily accessible via a short walk from the parking lot—which is free to park.
These natural hot springs are larger than most and can fit close to 30 people, with a stunning 360-degree view of the majestic mountains.
Visitors can expect a bit more of a challenge getting to these hot springs. They are located about a half-mile hike through the Santa Fe National Forest.
The hike to the hot springs can be challenging for some, as the climb is 1,350 feet up a couple natural and man-made staircases.
Set by a lush forest and snow-capped peaks, these natural hot springs include one huge pool and many smaller springs of various degrees.
These natural hot springs are also known as Fifth Water Hot Springs, and feature several hot spring pools with glacier blue waters and a beautiful waterfall.
This natural hot spring is only one large pool but it is very warm, and very deep—allowing for diving and exploring.
